FAQs for Slade Green
Can you do a hog roast in Braeburn Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Slade Green?
Slade Green station, in Slade Green itself.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We will agree what suits yours.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Hog roast for events in Slade Green, carved to order
Festivals and shows run for hours, and we serve through the agreed hours. We are frequently asked to cater festivals and town and village days, with apple sauce, crackling and halloumi skewers.
Events in Slade Green range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces normally need council permission, and the roaster needs a pitch with clearance. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How the day works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Late-May events in Slade Green have light until about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
Getting a price
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, a professional hog roast frees up your helpers. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
